The CAMPAIGN 0PENING.-The
Democratic and Republican parties
are now marshalling their forces IN
battle array and preparing for the
struggle that will be decided in No
vember. The prohibition and in
dependent tickets are not looked on
as factors in the fight and the prob
ability is that some of them will be
like colored gentlemen OF patri-
clan name in Louisiana under car
pet-bag rule. The gentleman's
name was George Washington, and
he was a candidate for the legisla-
ture from Rapides parish. A white
carpet. Dagger was sent to the par
ish as register, and after performing
his duties in that line, kindly offer
ed George to have his tickets print
ed for him in New Orleans free of
cost, which offer George gladly ac-
cepted. BY an error (supposably
that of the printer) the tickets
were printed with the name of the
Register instead of Georges and on
election day the Register was duly
returned elected, and George did
not have vote. The colored pop
ulation could not read and of course
were easily deceived. After the
polls closed George, radiant with
hope, addressed one of the judges
with the question: "Boss, how many
votes did | git?' "None," replied
the judge. Marry one, Boss ~
asked George. Not single one,
George" said the judge. "Well,
boss" said George, 81 'clar to
Gawd, | got one vote; kase know
| voted for myself" However, the
returns showed Georges good in
tentions to help himself did not
count. We have no doubt that
maay of our independent and pro-
hibition candidates will get one vote
the one they cast for themselves,
but that is all. The one will offset
the other aud we may safely predict
that Anne Arundel county will
once more roll up her usual demo-
cratic majority, and victory will
perch upon her banners

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORMS view of the fact
that Massachusetts, is one of our
largest manufacturing States and
consequently very largely benefited
by the tariff. the following extract
from the platforms of the Demo
cratic party of that state is refresh
ing. 1t says
eve believe that the power of
Congress to tax the people is limit
ed by the constitution to the require
ments of the government; that any
system of taxation which produces
a revenue beyond that is unwise aud
dangerous. 1t throws unnecessary
burdens on the people and enhances
the cost of living; it encourages
needless and extravagant appropria-
tions by Congress, and by withdraw.
ing from general circulation money
that should be actively employed,
embraces trade and may be the
cause of disastrous financial crises.
We do not advocate free trade, out
favor and desire a revision of the
present unjust and burdensome
tariff laws. We heartily approve of
the following recommendation of
the President /: "The increasing
and unnecessary surplus should be
released to the people by an amend
ment to our revenue laws, which
shall cheaper the price of the nee
essaries of life and give freer en-
frances to such imported materials
as may be manufactured into mark
etable commodities. We believe
the income derived by the govern
ment from the internal revenue tax
should be applied to discharge the
burdens imposed on the people by
the late war. !"
These sentiments accord with
ours. But ours is an individual
opinion, whereas these are the result
of an aggregation of wisdom. There
are some people who say get all the
money you can in the Treasury and
then make large appropriations so
as to keep the laboring classes at
work. We believe we had rather
spend our own money than let the
spend it for us. If any
other argument was needed to
strengthen our position, the grad
ual growth of stringency in the
money markets, which in New York
now is looked on as portending a
crisis, is all that need be said. We
believe the President would do a
wise act if he convened Congress in
extra session and suggested large
for all legitimate
purposes. If the treasury is not |
unlocked financial disaster is an as
sured thing.

The TRAMP SEASON. As the

ly fall, the tramps are making thelr
usual fall pilgrimage South. This
is a class sui generis; and it is n re-
markable fact that among them are
numbers Of highly educated men.
The reasons for the lives led by
these men are very various. Some
become so from drink. Some COM
NIT some misdemeanor that causes
them to lose caste in the social scales.
Some from unhappy domestic rela-
tions and some are disappointed in
business and start out with n view
OF going to places where they are
unknown, to begin life anew. Of
course these mon, who make these
new departures are without means.
Generally when they reach a place
where they think they will locate,
they have become poor seedy and
neglected in appearance; everything
Is against them; and so no one will
employ them. The want of means,
of decent clothing, and of some
thing to eat, makes many of them
lose the confidence and the "bOH
h3mmie" of the past, and so apply
where they may for the privilege Of
working, they meet with rebuifs,
and are put down as "tramps' when
the desire for such life is farthest
from their thoughts; and tramps
they become from necessity. Many
men are doomed to this life, from
the want of christian charity. Often
in a mad moment, single acts are
committed that followed with their
consequences doom men to lives of
crime and degradation; whereas
if but one helping hand was extend
ed, one kind word spoken, many
"brands would be snatched from
the burning" But christianity will
not allow her ohaste garments to
be soiled by contact with these poor
specimens of suffering humanity.
There is time in every mans life
when he has yearning for higher
life, and struggle as he may against
appearances though his desires and
interests be all good he learns that
MANS inhumanity TO man
Make countless thousands mourn.
Our churches spend thousands of
dollars every year to christiauize
the heather and while this in its in
tent is laudable, if they would only
think of the heathens nearer home
they might do an immense deal of
good at the place where charity
should begin-at home. While
writing on this subject we may al
lude to a home association which,
though it may not have accomplished
much good, are certainly making
efforts in the right direction. We
allude to the "Praying Band.
Every Sunday Afternoon they visit
the Jail, examine into the causes
of commitment, read the Bible to
the prisoners, pray with them, sing
for them. They deserve the assist
ance and countenance of our peo-
pleas a matter Of sustenance in
their work. Their reward is assur-
ed in the promise ''That as much
as We did it to the least of these, We
did it unto me-" Alas for christian
charity which prays for forgiveness,
but itself never forgives. The mar
row mindedness of christianity has
often

A B1ooK BURNED.
Disastrous Cenfa4ration at Pittsburgh,
pennsy1vania.


PirTsBuReH, Pa, Aug. l2--Thc most dis.
astrous fire known here for many years Is
now raging in the heart of the city, and
the damage, which can not be estimated,
will certainly reach up in the millions.
Shortly before 10 o'clock tonight smoke
was seen issuing from the rear of Masonic
Hall on Fifth avenue. The fire seemed to
be in the second story, which was occu-
pied by Campbell Il Dick as carpet ware
room. An alarm was quickly sound.
ed, and the fire department responded
promptly, but before they arrived the rear
portion of the building was burning. In q
short time the flames spread to Hamilton's
magnificent nine story building adjoining,
and by II o'clock the flames had reached
such proportions that the entire fire de-
partment of the city was called out At
II :45 Schmidt a. Fridays building, another
fine structure nine stories high, caught
from intense heat, and in ten minutes
more the Dispatch Building adjoining was
in flames. These buildings are now
burning fiercely, and at midnight there
arc no indications of the fire being con-
trolled. 1t is feared that half the block
on the north side of Fifth avenue, between
Smithteld and Wood streets Is doomed.
Aug. 1890 a. m.-The flames are un-
der control, but the fire is not extinguish-
ed. The loss will reach $1,000,0O0.

pedo boat is building at Cramps Ship
yard, Philadelphia, for the United States
Government by the Pneumatic Dynamite
Gun Company, of New York. The boat
will be the first ever constructed for the
peculiar use to which it will be put. 1t
will be built of steel, 246 feet long, 261f
feet beam with draft of feet. Its
displacement will be about 700 tons. Its
engines and boilers will develop about

An Aeronaut's Peril.

CHATswoRTH ILL.,, Aug. 14.-At Cullom,
ILL.,, some eight miles north of here, Prof.
Talbert, the balloonist, made an ascension
about six o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The balloon arose about one thousand
feet in the air and sailed away in a
northwesterly direction. Soon after
starting it was discovered to be on fire,
smoke rolling from the top in clouds. By
the time it had sailed about one mile
away. 1t then began to come down very
rapidly, and struck the ground with a
rush. Prof. Talbert escaped severe injury
only by good luck. About all that was
left of the balloon were the rings on the
bottom. The excitement Of the people
was intense.

NOVEL EXECUTION.
How . Colony ~ sparrows Punished =
Troublesome Member.

The good and bad traits, the pug
nacity, the domesticity, fecundity, vor-
acity and other qualities Of the English
sparrow have all been subjected to ex-
haustive treaties by renowned ornithol-
ogists and learned professors, and
many odd stories have been told OF their
intelligence and reasoning power, but
none OF them will surpass the following
which is authenticated by such men as
ex-Sheriff @. b. Smith, Prosecuting At
torney j. G. McCluer, Deputy Sheriff
Ben Stewart, Captain Bob Patterson,
and dozens of other citizens whose ver-
acity can not be questioned. This Is the
story rs told by them: A large colony
of English sparrows have built their
nests in the crevices of the cornice,
above the columns among the dentals,
and in fact wherever they can get one
to stick about the courthouse. Their
familiarity with the law and its provis-
ions was well established the otherd day.
Above the door of the sheriff's Office,
between the spout and the corEice, about
twenty-five feet from the ground, a
family was building large nest, but in
its erection had either jumped the claim
of another family, or some tramp SPAR
row, too lazy to work, had concluded
to squat on the premises, for about
noon the building was stopped and a
noisy crowd was trying to drive stub
born bird away. After a time they
succeeded, but he returned again and
again, while the builders were absent.
At last it was observed that when the
architects and builders were away after
material one or two remained constantly
on the watch. This was kept up until
about two o'clock, when the offending
bird again returned. This time the
birds ON guard pitched into him, and
were assisted by several others who flew
to their assistance. They surrounded
the little fellow, and by some means,
how the interested observers could not
tell, they succeeded in getting small
string or thread about his neck. They
then forced him over the edge of the
nest until he fell distance of three feet
anu utouSuo u to oiiC Ciiu VI ouO huitot'
The bird could not release himself or
find any place to alight except on the
nest above. He tried to reach this, and
did so perhaps dozen times or more,
but every time he was caught and
thrown back into space by the vigilance
committee which was stationed in a
solid phalanx aronnd the edge of the
nest At last the little fellow became
exhausted and fell the length of the
cord and was strangled to death. AS
soon as the bird ceased to struggle the
throng about the nest dispersed after
chattering expression of opinion. and
the builders proceeded with their work,
leaving the culprit hanging as warn
ing to others.
This is the second instance of orni-
biological justice meted out according
to the statutes which has occurred in
this city. In the other case the culprit
was hanged to the limb of a tree by
another colony of sparrows in the lower
end Of the city under almost exactly
similar circumstances. - Parbersburg

worth Wreck.
The wounded in That City All Doing Well
Expert Investigation Indicates That
the Burning of the Bridge Was Due TO
the Carelessness OF Section Men.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-To-day was de-
voted to burying the dead from the Chats
worth wreck and attending to the wants
of the wounded. A larger crowd Of people
were present in the cemetery than usually
turns out Decoration Day, and the ten little
mounds of earth which mark the resting
places of those who were hidden from
sight yesterday were visited by large
numbers. Three additional victims
were buried here to-day. The body
of Mrs. p. j. Valentine was started
East this evening, her five little grief
stricken children accompanying. The un-
fortunate lady's parents reside at Dun
kirk, N. Y. The funeral of ex-County
Treasurer Weinette was perhaps as largely
attended one as Peoria has ever wit
messed. The funeral Of William Reagan,
which took place under the direction of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, was
also largely attended. The remains OF
Mrs. Hiram j. Mara were laid beside
those of her daughter, Mrs. L. F. Putncy,
who was buried yesterday. The wounded
in this city are doing well, and none OF
them are believed to be in dangerous
condition. The train this evening brought
three badly wounded people, who were
taken to the hospital. These were Adam
Schenberger, of Peoria Miss Alter,
of West Point, and Mrs. Hazen, Of
Fort Madison, la. But one unidenti-
fed body remains here. This is that
of woman. 1t was to-day removed
from the morgue to a vault in Springdale
Cemetery. Nothing has been heard from
relatives or friends of the unknown man
who was buried here under the supposi-
ton that he was the son of Willis Smith,
of this city. Miss Josie Valdejo will be
buried tomorrow Miss Pearl Adams still
remains in q critical condition at Piper
City. The funeral of p. P. Van Lew was
held at Galesburg this afternoon. Mrs
c. +. Allen was taken to Galesburg last
night, and is lying in an unconscious state

Indictments Found-Ths Youngs Anxious
for Trial-Almost . Collision.

Tor TrinI-AimO6t y OoutsiOns
MoREHnAp, KY., Aug. 10.--The grand jury
Of the Rowan circuit court rendered In
dictments this morning against A. w.
Young, z. T. Young, Green Mannin and
John Trumbo, upon the charge OF
conspiring and confederating together
to kill H. M. Logan last November.
At that time Logan was shot in tho
leg and badly wounded. John Keeton
at Mount Sterling, swore that he and
Trumbo had been bribed to kill Logan by
Green Mannin and others. Keeton was af-
forwards arrested and held over for per-
jury. He was to-day indicted for shooting
and wounding H. M. Logan with intent to
kill. The prisoners were admitted to bail
in the sum Of $500 each. The Youngs,
especially Allie Young, are anxious
to be tried at this term OF
court. Judge Cole has extended the
term thirty days, and ordered the sum-
moning Of fifty petit juryman from Flem-
ing County to try the case Of Allie Young,
which is set for next Tuesday. Judge
Cole declares his intention to hold court
until these cases are wiped OF the docket.
Allie Young is anxious to have his trial
over, as he desires to leave the country
and go where he can exercise his
undoubted talents without being
dragged into feuds like those which have
made Rowan County SO unhappy. A meet
ing took place to-day between Boone Lo.
gan and Andy and Wiley Tolliver. The
lie was exchanged, and it was feared that
the collision would result in shooting.
The incident passed off, however, but
there is no telling when the volcano will
arunt
